Winter

Eyes like turntables
Remixing my heart,
Changing its beat
Two counts apart.
A smile like the rays
Of April’s sun,
Melting the cold,
For Spring has begun.

But summer passed
And Autumn fell,
And all ended with the
Ring of the sleigh bell.

The snow-covered heart,
Like and empty street
Lined with lights,
Far from discrete--
Lights that flickered
From the draft you let in,
When you walked out the door
And let Winter begin--
Sang its last carol
Of love, laboured and lost,
And caution discarded
Leaving room for the frost.
